Chapter Twenty-One
"Deal"
Chandler's POV
I walked forward letting the floorboards creak and wobble underneath me. I watched her easy breathing, her soft lashes and her almost vampire pale skin beneath the rosy pink cheeks. The soft curls descending from her head.
You shall be mine Bella Swan.
I knelt down in front of her, and touched my fingers to her lips, feeling the warm blood beneath her flesh. I smelled her neck, moving my nose down toward her shoulder and down her jacket to her wrists, where I felt a mark. I looked at it, the crescent shaped scar feeling just a little cooler than the rest of her body.
From that scar I smelled the tiny hint, and felt the presence of my brother.
I hissed, knowing he's tasted her blood before me. I wondered what it would taste like.
It was then, she muttered words under her breath, and her breathing became a little heavier and faster. Her lashes flew up revealing her warm brown eyes.
She awoke from her slumber, looking at me.
Startled she jumped, realizing she was tied up, staring into my eyes, she was scared.
She began to cry, "Let me go" she stammered.
I grinned "You want to leave huh?"
She frantically nodded her head with sureness.
I stood up holding my hands behind my back. "Let's make a deal."
"What kind of deal?" she asked coldly.
"No time for questions. It's a yes or a no, and before you answer irrationally, I should tell you that this deal could release you, and your little boyfriends."
She considered this and whispered a silent yes.
Jacob's POV
Edward and I began our journey again sprinting through the forest when he suddenly stopped me, motioning for me to walk no further.
From the shadows walked out the female vampire, Charlotte.
Edward took control, "What are you doing here?" he asked sternly.
She gasped a laugh, "I could ask you the same thing, you do know Chandlers going to kill you the second you get there."
I growled "I'll take the risk, thanks"
"You must be stupid. He's not like James, or Laurent" She smirked
"I don't care who the hell he is. He has Bella, and I'm going to save her," I challenged.
She rolled her eyes, leaning against a tree "He could kill Bella in an instant if he wanted you know… He could kill all of you"
I growled, but Edward stopped me "Don't challenge her" he said being cautious of her.
But the way she talked, I could of killed her right here, right now.
"If you have nothing further to add, we'd like to be on our way now." Edward said as calmly as possible.
How is he staying so calm?
"Why do all you men like that human girl anyways? She's nothing but ordinary."
"She's everything to me" Edward said butting in.
I shot him a look.
"-us" he unwillingly added.
"I wish Chandler loved me like that" she said without warning.
Where did that come from?
"We thought you guys were mates?" I asked trying to soften up the situation.
"Yeah right, not after he decided he loved Bella" She snarled.
Edward and I looked at each other frightfully, thinking of the worst case scenario.
We rushed past Charlotte and ran as quickly as we could,
Bella, we're coming, don't worry. Soon you'll be in my arms and everything will be okay.
Charlotte's POV
Stupid boys, who do they think they are? Fighting for a flimsy human girl like Bella. She's so worthless.
I swiped my long hair out of my face, and glistened in the minor sun that we had.
I'm much prettier, Chandler always told me I was. Of course I'm prettier than the young human girl… right?
Feeling betrayed, I crossed my arms around my chest, thinking of all the things I've done for Chandler. It wasn't fair; I was the one who turned him into a vampire to avenge his brother. I was the one who took care of his early stages. I was the one who loved him when no one else would, and this is how he repaid me, pathetic.
Although it was worse than that, I still loved him.
Bella's POV
"It was nice working with you, love, or should I say… my queen." Chandler said soothingly.
My eyes welt up, and drops of humiliation and heartbreak fell out of my eyes.
I had lost his game; I was weak and had gotten trapped in his spell. I felt stupid and embarrassed.
He laughed walking away, as I slowly dropped my head in defeat.
Authors Note: Hey Everyone! This chapter was a little faster, maybe not to you. But I thought this would of taken longer than i thought. A special thanks to Winged and Dangerous for giving me some ideas to think up! which got my imagination working little by little. I know this chapter was kind of short. and I'm sorry :/ Hopefully i'll make the next one longer. Leave reviews, I love them :)
